Kisan Mazdoor Struggle Committee Leads Statewide Strike Against Narcotics

The Kisan Mazdoor Struggle Committee (KMSC) and its affiliated unions have launched a full‑scale bandh across Punjab, targeting the drug crisis that they claim is crippling rural livelihoods. The call for a shutdown was echoed by farmer groups throughout the state, with many districts reporting closed markets and halted public services.

While the protest aims to pressure the government into tightening drug laws, organizers have assured that essential emergency services will remain operational. Panjher warned that any attempts by anti‑social elements to disrupt the peaceful nature of the demonstration would be met with strong opposition from the farming community.
